This study is assessing how safe and effective a new immunotherapy treatment is when given in combination with chemotherapy for people advanced PD-L1-positive triple-negative breast cancerA Phase II, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of Tobemstomig/RO7247669 Combined With Nab-Paclitaxel Compared With Pembrolizumab Combined With Nab-Paclitaxel in Participants With Previously Untreated, PD-L1-Positive, Locally-Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Clinical summary

Summary

Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms.

In Arm A (Experimental), participants will receive a new immunotherapy treatment called tobemstomig plus nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy. Tobemstomig will be given intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks, and nab-paclitaxel will be given via IV weekly for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week off.

In Arm B (Active Comparator), participants will receive pembrolizumab immunotherapy plus nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy. Pembrolizumab will be given via IV every 3 weeks, and nab-paclitaxel will be given weekly for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week off.

Treatment will continue in both arms until disease progression or treatment discontinuation.

Conditions

This trial is treating patients with triple-negative breast cancer that is PD-L1 positive who have not received prior systemic therapy for their advanced disease

Eligibility

Inclusion

  • HER2-low-status
  • Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
  • If metastatic disease (Stage IV), measurable disease outside of the bone
  • No prior systemic therapy for metastatic or locally advanced unresectable TNBC
  • Tumor PD-L1 expression as documented through central testing of a representative tumor tissue specimen
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1
  • Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
  • Negative HIV test at screening, with the following exception: individuals with a positive HIV test at screening are eligible provided they are stable on anti-retroviral therapy, have a CD4 count ≥ 200/uL, and have an undetectable viral load
  • Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test at screening
  • Positive hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) test at screening, or a negative HBsAb at screening accompanied by either of the following: negative hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb); positive HBcAb test followed by quantitative hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA < 500 IU/mL
  • Negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test at screening, or a positive HCV antibody test followed by a negative HCV RNA test at screening
  • Adequate cardiovascular function

Exclusion

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding, or intention of becoming pregnant during the study or within 4 months after the final dose of tobemstomig or pembrolizumab, and 6 months after the final dose of nab-paclitaxel
  • Poor venous access
  • History of malignancy within 5 years prior to consent, except for the cancer under investigation in this study and malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g., 5-year OS rate >90%), such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, nonmelanoma skin carcinoma, localized prostate cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or Stage I uterine cancer
  • Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing central nervous system (CNS) metastases

  • History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan. History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted
  • Active tuberculosis (TB)
  • Significant cardiovascular/cerebrovascular disease within 3 months prior to consent

  • Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation
  • Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, or may render the participant at high risk from treatment complications
  • Treatment with a live, attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment
  • Treatment with investigational therapy within 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment
  • Prior treatment with CD137 agonists or anti-CTLA therapeutic antibodies or an anti-LAG3 agent
